Tx levels

When I was transfusion-dependent and outside the hospital, my doctor transfused me when hemoglobin dropped below 8 or platelets were below 20. In the hospital during ATG treatment, the hemoglobin threshold was below 7 and platelets below 10. But I think it really does depend on the patient and their own ability to handle the low counts.
